Hidcote St. John's Wort

Hypericum Hidcote, also known as Hidcote St. John's Wort, is a versatile, low-maintenance shrub prized for its vibrant yellow blooms and compact growth habit. From mid-summer through fall, this hardy deciduous shrub lights up the landscape with cheerful golden flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, Hypericum Hidcote forms a dense, rounded mound of blue-green foliage that serves as a colorful accent in garden borders, mixed shrub plantings, or along pathways. Perfect for mass plantings or erosion control, Hypericum Hidcote thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay and poor soils.

This easy-care shrub requires little pruning to maintain its shape and is well-suited for both formal and naturalistic landscape designs. In addition to its ornamental value, Hidcote St. John's Wort offers year-round appeal with attractive seed capsules and semi-evergreen foliage in mild climates.

With its vibrant flowers, tough nature, and multiple uses, it’s no wonder this compact shrub is a favorite among gardeners and landscape designers alike.
